If the alloys chosen are wider than the stock rims, that would already give a wider contact patch when the stock-size tubeless tyres are fitted. Plus the tubeless tyres chosen should be of higher quality than the stock ones, again yielding additional grip.

For example, if stock steel rims are 5J (just guessing) then stock-size tubeless tyres mounted on 5.5J or 6J alloys will give a higher grip and better handling.

@Anju, the Michelin Energy XM1 is a recommended tyre; see

Michelin Australia

You can see that the minimum/optimal/maximum rim widths recommended for the stock size tyres are 5J/5.5J/6.5J respectively. So ideally 5.5J or 6J alloys would be fine if you plan to stick with stock size. If you plan to upsize, pick the recommended optimal rim width given in the above website.

As for choice of alloys, we do not know what the specifications of the stock rims are (offset, PCD). If Hyundai supplies alloys for the Getz Crdi, I would suggest that you go for those. If not, you can search the Aura alloys website:

Neo alloys is also a good Indian brand:

Neo Wheels India

I do not know much about the foreign brands.
